Scientists at UCL, Google DeepMind and Intrinsic have developed a powerful new AI algorithm that enables large sets of robotic arms to work together faster and smarter in busy industrial settings, ...

Most robots get around with tracks or wheels, but [Dave] had something different in mind. Sufficiently unbothered by the prospect of mixing electronics and water, [Dave] augmented a canoe with twin, ...

It’s the main hub that ties everything together—sort of like the conductor for the orchestra that is a robot. It takes in data from sensors, runs that through some code (which you or someone else ...

It feels like just yesterday we were talking about AI that could write poems or beat us at chess. Now, we’re seeing AI that ...

Two researchers at UC Berkeley and ETH Zurich have harnessed the power of OpenAI’s GPT-4o large language model to teach cheap robot arms to clean up spills. It’s a clever demonstration of how AI ...

In virtual reality, participants embodied an avatar whose left forearm was replaced by an autonomous prosthetic arm that flexed toward a target at different movement speeds. When AI powered prosthetic ...

AI’s concealed labor has repeatedly led us to overestimate the technology. Humanoid robots are entering a similar phase. This story originally appeared in The Algorithm, our weekly newsletter on AI.
